Aroser Rothorn, Mountain summit in Plessur Alps, Switzerland.
Aroser Rothorn is a summit in the Plessur Alps that rises to 2,980 meters and marks where the territories of Arosa, Lantsch/Lenz, and Alvaneu converge. The terrain features ridge walks and rocky slopes that create different climbing possibilities.
The mountain has long functioned as a natural boundary between different Swiss communities, and its peak still marks where their territories meet. This role as a boundary marker has shaped local geography throughout history.
The summit serves as a focal point for the local mountaineering culture in Graubünden. People value it as a destination that connects them to the Alpine traditions of the region.
Several hiking trails ascend from valley starting points to reach the peak, with the SAC Ramozhütte at 2,293 meters serving as a base for climbers. The mountain is most accessible during warmer months when snow is not blocking the routes.
The rock formations show a crystalline structure typical of Graubünden, with exposed stone visible along climbing routes. These geological features give climbers a chance to see the Alpine geological story firsthand.
